All bedrooms are decorated and furnished with a modern theme but still retaining the Victorian charm. We are proud to have been awarded a Breakfast Award by Visit England and a 5* Food Hygiene Rating by Blackpool Environmental Health. At The Strathdon we operate a strict family and couples only policy. Sorry no Stag/Hen Parties and Young Farmers allowed.
